correcting oversupply?

I have been EPing since DS was born because he  was in the NICU. I pump every 3hrs during the day and every 4 overrnight. I pump 6-8oz per pump. DS can now breastfeed, but he's not the greatest at it. He latches great but falls asleep. He will only take 1 side, and I'm sure he doesn't empty the 1st side. How do I begin to correct this oversupply? I don't want to lose my supply. Any suggestions?

    I fixed my oversupply by doing block nursing... feeding only one side each feed, alternating the side each time.  My oversupply evened out within a week.  She is 5 months now and I haven't had supply issues since.  GL.

    I can't tell how old our LO is but my OS happened at 4 months and I had to block feed in 3hr blocks. I went from nursing both sides each session to nursing from the same side 2 times in a row since DS nursed every 2 hours. Eventually I was able to altern
